California Cleaning Product Right to Know Act of 2017

The California Senate Bill No 258 (Cleaning Product Right to Know Act of 2017) mandates that The Laundress, as a supplier of cleaning products to consumers, provide a list of all ingredients found on an authoritative body’s designated list. Additionally, in our commitment to quality and transparency, we strive to educate our consumers on the ingredients we use within our products. All the ingredients used in The Laundress products have been evaluated and tested from a safety and regulatory standpoint and deemed that they are acceptable for inclusion in our products (when used as directed by our customers). 

The following table provides links to the designated lists referenced in the California Cleaning Product Right to Know Act of 2017.
